MSI Wind U100 Plus spotted, toyed with on video

Brad Linder — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:44:23 +0000

The MSI Wind U100 Plus is basically a modest upgrade to the classic MSI Wind U100. Both netbooks have the same keyboard, case design, and screen. But the Plus version has an ever-so-slightly faster processor. It replaces the Intel Atom N270 CPU with an N280 processor that runs at 1.66GHz and which has an FSB of 667MHz. The N270 chip...

Is Intel phasing out the Atom N280/GN40 chipset?

Brad Linder — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:14:54 +0000

Intel could begin phasing out the Atom N280 chip and GN40 graphics chipset. Digitimes reports the move is due to low demand. The Intel Atom N280 CPU runs at 1.66GHz, which is only moderately faster than the 1.6GHz clock speed of the older Atom N270 CPU. The N280 also has faster bus speed and the GN40 chipset is designed to offer...

Intel could raise the price of Intel Atom processors

Brad Linder — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:47:58 +0000

The Intel Atom N270 CPU has become pretty popular since it launched in mid-2008. Nearly every major computer manufacturer has put out a netbook powered by this 1.6GHz chip in the last half year or so. And it looks like an increase in the number of white-box computer makers in China placing orders could lead to a shortage of Atom...

Brad Linder — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:49:08 +0000

Intel's upcoming GN40 chipset is designed to provide improved HD video playback. But what exactly does that mean? You can already watch plenty of 720p content on a netbook with an Intel Atom N270 CPU and 945GSE chipset. According to Fuzilla, an Intel product manager says the new Intel Atom N280/GN40 chipset will be able to handle 1080p playback. But...

Brad Linder — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:44:44 +0000

Taking a page out of the Asus playbook, MSI seems determine to flood the market with netbook models this year. The MSI Wind U100 was a pretty big success for the company last year, and the new MSI Wind U120 basically takes the same components and puts them in a shiny new case with a 3G modem option. Now Laptop...

Notebooks with 11 and 12 inch screens have existed for a while, but they typically carried high price tags. But today Dell and Samsung are offering 12 inch notebooks with low...

Intel Atom N280 CPU doesn’t always come with GN40 chipset

Brad Linder — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 10:24:55 +0000

When I spotted one of the first netbooks with the new Intel Atom N280 at CES, it was paired with Intel's new GN40 chipset which provides hardware decoding for 720p HD videos. And so I, like a lot of other people, assumed that the N280 chip would always be bundled with the GN40 chipset. But the folks at Laptop Magazine...

Intel Atom N280 CPU shows up in some new Eee PC models

You know that Asus Eee PC 1004DN I told you about earlier today? The one that comes with a DVD drive? Yeah, that one. Well I took another look at the spec sheet and had to do a double take. Virtually every netbook on the market today has an Intel Atom N270 CPU, so I kind of assumed that's what...
